Sigourney Weaver as a activist under the country's former dictatorship who had been tortured by the regime. Her husband (Stuart Wilson) gets a ride home with their neighbor (Ben Kingsley) and she realizes that he was the one who tortured her while she was blindfolded. She ties him up, tries to get a confession out of him so she can put him on trial in their living room over the objections of her lawyer husband.
It's a little like an episode of Law & Order. Whatever ambiguity there is in the episode, whether someone is guilty or innocent or whatever question there is about their motives, everything is made clear in the end.
It's interesting, at least to me, how many of Polanski's movies are set in single locations with a handful of characters. This is common in low budget movies. In this case the movie was based on a play. They don't say what country it's set in, but the playwright was Chilean.
